Jiang Yang was confused, I said city gate tower and you said bastard?
I was born a bandit and you gave me the county magistrate system? Failed to wipe it out?
What are you doing? Did you do this on purpose? You said you looked down on the ninth-grade magistrate, but this county magistrate is a dignified seventh-grade magistrate. How could I take office in three days at this time?
If you want me to die, just say it clearly, why beat around the bush!
No, develop it yourself?
Looking down at the document in his hand, Jiang Yang seemed to understand something.
Buying an official position? Xiami County? Echeng? Huang Silang?
Jiang Yang took the dry food and water bottle from Wenguan, squatted in front of the fat man and said, "The county magistrate who took the imperial examination?"
"I...I bought it." The fat county magistrate looked at the knife in Jiang Yang's hand and didn't dare to lie.
"Follow the official buying process," Jiang Yang urged with joy in his heart.
Listening to the fat magistrate's narration, Jiang Yang also understood the whole story.
But it is far different from what Master Tang did. Master Tang cleverly set up a name to collect taxes and donations, return the money of the wealthy gentry in full, and divide the money of the common people into 30-70 accounts.
And this person really wanted to be a county magistrate in Xiami County.
Seeking benefits for future generations, hereditary inheritance, and taking root here to dominate and prosper.
Jiang Yang asked if it was not a change of office after three years. Unexpectedly, the fat man just rubbed his hands. Everyone understood what he meant.
When he heard him say that no one in Xiami County knew him, Jiang Yang had already made up his mind!
Jiang Yang wiped his mouth and squatted in front of the fat magistrate, and asked: "Do you want to live or die?"
"If you want to live, please spare your life, good man." The fat county magistrate hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy with his hands clasped in fists.
Jiang Yang looked straight and said, "What's your surname and where is your family?"
"The younger one's name is Li You, whose courtesy name is Borong. He was born in the second year of Tianbao and is from Longzhou, Guannai Road."
"Okay! Let's take a trip to Mi County. I will be the county magistrate and you will be the master." Jiang Yang continued: "You want your glory and wealth, and I will be my county magistrate!"
"?" The fat county magistrate was a little dazed. He had seen people who robbed people of wealth, but this was the first time he saw someone who had been approved by the government to take office!
He said blankly: "Okay..."
To be on the safe side, Jiang Yang rubbed his back, and a dark, smelly ball appeared in the palm of his hand.
"This is called stretching and staring pills!" Jiang Yang smiled while holding the pills.
"You must take the antidote within seven days, otherwise pus will ooze from the top of your head, sores will appear on the soles of your feet, and your whole body will itch extremely. The more itches, the more you scratch, until you scratch yourself to death!" Jiang Yang pretended to be fierce.
Then, without waiting for the fat magistrate to say anything, he pinched his chin with both hands and put it directly into his mouth.
"You know what you should do and say when you get to Xiami County, right? If something happens to me, you won't have a good death either."
The fat county magistrate pinched his neck with both hands, looked at Jiang Yang with fear, his face turned red and said: "Hero, I understand, I understand!"
Jiang Yang sneered and said: "Brothers, follow me to take office in Mi County."
They didn't have any ideas and naturally followed Jiang Yang's advice.
Except Wen Guan and Chen Zhiyong, there are four other people, two sets of twins.
The taller one is called Ma Feng, the shorter one is called Ma Yan, the slightly fatter one is called Wang Tong, and the thinner one is called Wang Chen.
Ma Yan was also the guy who just stared at the dry food in Wen Guan's hand. Now he was a little moved when he looked at the yellow and orange things in the fat county magistrate's package.
When the relationship between heaven and man was coming, I heard Wang Tong urging: "Ma Yan, don't miss the big brother's arrangements for a while."
"Okay, okay, we're done." Ma Yan withdrew his greedy eyes, sorted out the things on the ground angrily, and then set off with the team.
It's still dozens of miles from here to Xiami County.
I think we'll arrive in the afternoon.
But as we get closer and closer, we become more and more nervous. It is a great courage for a man who is an honest and honest man to fall into the trap of being a bandit.
Now the imposter is still the official family member who didn't dare to look up. Naturally, his palms and soles are sweating.
But it was different from what I imagined. There were neither gongs and drums nor firecrackers at the gate of Nuoda County.
At the entrance of the county seat, a group of poorly clothed, sallow-looking and thin-looking refugees stood in a dark place.
Someone shouted that the county magistrate was coming, and the crowd swarmed over.
They pushed and pushed their way to the carriage in a noisy way.
"Master, please give me some food. My children have been hungry for three days."
"Give me a way to survive. There's no way I can survive anymore."
Two carriages were blocked at the door, unable to advance or retreat.
Wen Guan's face was covered with sweat, and he wanted to maintain order, but one person's words could cause ripples in the blue waves.
The remaining men worked together to protect the carriage. Although they held knives in their hands, they did not dare to do anything.
Jiang Yang frowned. Although he was prepared, he didn't expect it to be like this.
How long has it been since the prosperous age of Kaiyuan? Doesn’t the history book say that every family has a surplus of food?
There has been no problem in farming in recent years, so why are there so many refugees?
Jiang Yang turned his head and stared at the fat county magistrate fiercely: "Li You, in this poor place, can you really make money and pass on your family for eternity?"
The fat county magistrate wiped his sweat and said, "It will be fine in a few years. As long as you get along well with the wealthy gentry in the county, you can still make money even if there is no land left in this place."
Jiang Yang's heart sank. If the people are like this, why can they still make money?
Isn’t this human blood steamed buns?
At the same time, Jiang Yang was in a dilemma as his carriage was being crowded.
There was a burst of laughter from the restaurant in the distance.
"You don't even know the ropes and you still want to be the county magistrate?"
"I kowtow when I visit the temple and offer incense when I visit the temple. This county magistrate doesn't take me seriously." The man who spoke sat upright on the main seat, with a graceful posture and showed the appearance of wealth and nobility.
He laughed at himself: "I'm just a commoner. It's normal for the county magistrate to look down on me. Why do you need to talk to me when you become an official in the city?"
"The king is joking, if you were a commoner, wouldn't we be slaves?"
After some joking, several people stood on the fence and stared at Jiang Yang jokingly.
"Give you some color to see."
"How can you be a county magistrate even if you can't get into the Yamen? Ignorance."
"You dare to be the county magistrate even if you don't have a mountain to climb? You're stupid."
According to the general unspoken rules, Jiang Yang had to stay at an inn outside for one night.
This evening, I will have a meal with the big families in the county in advance, which is known as strengthening communication and preparing for the next work.
What about reality?
Anyone who understands it naturally understands that someone like Jiang Yang, who rushes to the city to take office while it is still dark, naturally makes people think that he has ulterior motives, so he should simply give some advice...
It would be a good thing to teach this county magistrate.
At this time, Jiang Yang was not as panicked as they thought.
With alert eyes, he spotted a few provocateurs in the crowd, and his intuition told him that this matter was not simple.
The fat county magistrate in the carriage unconsciously raised a smile. He knew the secrets here, why didn't he say it? Why did he say it?
Jiang Yang looked back at the fat county magistrate meaningfully, then looked around, glancing at the railings of the restaurant and vaguely looking at several Huashan men.
When you make a move, you will naturally receive it.
